After John James Audubon (American, 1785-1851), "Virginian Partridge", no. 16, pl. LXXVI, from the Birds of America (1826-1838), hand-colored aquatint engraving by Robert Havell, verso watermarked "J Whatman/Turkey Mill/1829", pl. 25-1/4" x 38-1/4", sheet 26-1/2" x 39-1/2". Glazed, matted and framed.

There two tears that have been repaired - one 1/2" x 3/4" to the lower margin, and another 1-1/2" x 3/4" to right margin. Light buckling around margins is present with some subsequent fraying and toning to paper edges - none of which are visible when framed. There is a small crease to the upper right corner and some minor scattered spots of foxing in the sky area. Print retains excellent clarity of colors. Condition issues are minimal and are as to be expected with age and medium.
